Key Facts & Value

Key Fact

Historical significanceThe Lincoln penny, introduced in 1909, was the first U.S. coin to feature a real person, honoring President Abraham Lincoln's legacy.

Material changeDuring WWII, copper was rationed, leading to a change in the penny's composition post-war to include zinc-coated steel.

Artist recognitionVictor David Brenner's design has remained iconic, with the Lincoln penny being one of the most collected coins in U.S. history.

Value Fact

The value of this 1945 Lincoln penny can vary significantly based on its condition, rarity, and mint mark. While circulated examples are often worth only their face value, uncirculated or error coins can command much higher prices in the collector market.

Factors such as mint condition, rarity, and historical context elevate its value, making specific coins coveted by collectors.
